What you need to know:

  • Lawyers agreed to a new date saying they needed time to understand the bundles that will form part of the prosecution evidence
  • Mr Waiganjo came into the limelight after accompanying senior policemen to Baragoi in Samburu County early this year

The trial of two former police bosses accused of recruiting an imposter has been postponed to March 2014.

Mr John M'Mbijiwe, a former Rift Valley PPO and Michael Remi Ngugi formerly of the anti-stock theft unit were in court alongside Mr Joshua Waiganjo on Monday to face charges over their roles in the police impostor saga but the case would not proceed “as certain crucial documents were yet to be supplied to the defence team.” (READ: Waiganjo to be charged alongside police bosses)
